I think the first people I met off of AC were Ashley and Rachel in Minneapolis back during the Unbreakable tour. I didn't actually hang out with them that much because I wanted to roam around and see the state fair and they wanted to chill out by the venue and wait for the boys.
However when Julia and I met up to go see NKOTBSB it was sort of on a whim. I didn't want to go to another BSB show alone so I asked if she was going to the Toronto show. She said she was and we ended up going to so many shows after that and clicked pretty much instantly. So that was wicked.
I have met a whole bunch of other people through cruising as well - Julie, Rose, Tracy, Chrissy, Jen, Hannah. It's sort of a weird experience having all your online friends in the same room! I remember having the urge to check twitter (because I am a terrible addict) when we were at that mexican restaurant in 2011 and realising that 90% of the people whose tweets I cared about were sitting right there.
Also, I am suuuuuper stoked because this summer I finally get to meet up with my friend Jess who is my 1D partner in crime. We are going to a show in Chicago and I often forget about the concert when I think about my excitement for that. LOL.

I have never met fanfic friends in real life. I dont have a lot of good friends period lol. It takes me so long to warm up to someone and when i finally have i grt hurt. As much talking i do online i still tend to back off a bit. I also live in missouri and who would want to come here? Lol.
I feel talking online is easier for me because no one knows who i am or what i look like. (Very self causous lol) and i rarly post my real name with the exeption on facebook lol.
I am probably the only one likr this. I am weird lol

My Aunt lives in Vegas. I can stay with her if I want to. I went for a week last time I was out there. Stuff is not too expensive when cost of a hotel is eliminated but if people Chipped in for a hotel together that helps reduce the cost too. That's what I am doing for my Florida trip.

I've not met any of my fanfic friends online but I was "stalked" by Karin, Mautim, online. She found out that me and a couple other girls lived in Colorado and wanted to meet. I was a bit freaked cause of all the internet stuff and predators and what not but I decided to risk it and she came to my house. She was gutsy for coming to my place too, I could have been a predator... ha!
oh wait, I HAVE met Dee, I totally forgot about her... yeah... lol met her on AC and found out she was in Colorado and met up with her...

--- End quote ---
They call me by my real name, but I know I am in some people's phones as "Julie-my real name" LOL. I don't really care either way; I'll answer to anything.
